Tommy was a delight to have at our NKBA – Ottawa Chapter monthly event. He brought a sense of style, humor and knowledge that truly created a well-rounded evening for all our guests. Tommy’s celebrity design profile drew a lot of attention to our chapter but also a larger attendance for the event. He arrived promptly, was very interactive taking pictures with guests before his presentation and encouraged our audience to interact with him. Guests that were design students at this presentation were left with some great pointers when applying and entering into the design field. You can tell Tommy has a lot of experience in the Kitchen and Bath Industry which make him the perfect speaker for the type of events our organization provides.
